Roma people, prejudice and self-organisation

This is a monologue condensed from an interview with one of the founders of the Phralipe, democratic gypsy organisation about the causes of the present Gypsy problem, the manipulation encouraging prejudices, the necessity of the Gypsies' political self-organisation and the possibility of solidarity for those elbowed out.

Jean-Marie Le Pen shall go to heaven in spte of all that

Analysing the causes of the „French type fascism" earmarked by Le Pen, the author comes to the idea that racial discrimination in this country actually has two century old historical roots and the present crisis is just the cathaliser in its revival. The structural problems of the French left wing, the internal contradictions of the Church and the collapse of the revolutionary trend represented by the French Communist Party have opened up the road for LePenism. To overcome it, it is not enough to reject racialism in principle: a progressive social movement is needed that would end the causes of its mass attraction.
